Inverse and direct theorems for best uniform approximation by polynomials

Shayne Waldron

Abstract

It is shown that the standard method of obtaining direct (Jackson) theorems
for the order of best uniform approximation by algebraic polynomials from
those for trigonometric polynomials also provides inverse (Bernstein) theorems.

Keywords
Bernstein theorem, inverse theorem, Jackson theorem, direct theorem, Ditzian-Totik moduli of smoothness
